The program install size it how much space is needed for the program. 

A 2Ghz processor is highly recommended due to the resources Picoscope uses.  It can run on slower processors, but it can be problematic.  This is were the numbers can be tricky, though.  Many of the Core processors from Intel say they are under 2Ghz when, in reality, they are quite capable (ie. the 3rd generation i3, i5, etc.).  However, since it sounds as though you're talking about older computers, just try to get something 2Ghz or higher.  For example, there are many laptops with Core2Duo processors that can get the job done.

Now, when it comes to RAM, get as much as the computer can support (32bit operating systems can usually only take 4 Gig of RAM max).  Either get one that already has lots of RAM, or be sure to get one that can be upgraded to lots of RAM.
